Atlanta, GA, January 15, 2015 AssetOptics, a leader in cloud-based CMMS/EAM solutions, today announced the release of AssetOptics Facilities, Equipment and Fleet Maintenance for Salesforce version 2.7 (v2.7). The new release offers numerous improvements, including new features that dynamically generate and display maps of asset and work locations, and new Bills of Materials functionality enabling direct access to bills of material and more flexibility setting up asset groups and bills of materials.

Dynamically generated maps help with scheduling and routing.

“Companies realize the most benefit from CMMS when its functionality encourages advanced decision-making, and we have always focused on that aspect of our product,” said AssetOptics Founder Mike Edwards. “This release, from on-the-fly mapping that enriches scheduling logistics to automated start date assignment that streamlines workflow, provides even more support for our customers in attaining that goal.”

With v2.7, customers will gain six powerful new features that extend functionality, enhance interoperability with other solutions, and make the interface more intuitive and user friendly. The new features include:

Geolocation and Mapping: In both the Asset Tag Detail and Work Order displays, a new field, Geolocation, replaces the existing Latitude and Longitude fields with a Force.com-compliant geolocation field type. When this data is provided, a new page layout section, Geolocation, displays a dynamically generated map of asset or work locations based upon data in an Asset Tag record or a Work Order record, respectively.

Bills of Materials Retrieval and Viewing: A new Bills of Materials command button in a Work Order, when clicked, displays a Visualforce page with a Bills of Materials list pre-populated based on the relationship of the Work Order, Asset Tag and Asset Group. If desired, users can then perform an Asset Group lookup and view Bills of Materials not associated with the current Asset Tag.

New Bills of Materials functionality allows access to Bills of Materials across multiple Asset Groups.

Stock Issue Request Generation: The Generate SIR (stock issue request) command button formerly built into Work Order displays will now generate multiple stock issue requests (one for each storeroom) if the selected Work Order Parts record indicates more than one storeroom. However, if the Storeroom value in the Work Order Parts record is Null, the system will not generate an SIR.

“AssetOptics is a highly quality-focused enterprise, so we never consider our solutions ‘finished,’” said Edwards. “However, these latest updates will bring our users even more value for their investments and reinforce the reputation of AssetOptics Facilities, Equipment and Fleet Maintenance for Salesforce as a world-class native Force.com solution for CMMS/EAM.”

For the solution, Power Factors integrated the maintenance management system functions of AssetOptics into a real-time asset performance monitoring platform based on OSI Soft’s best-in-class software. The completed solution drives efficiency and profitability improvements for Power Factors’ customers.

“We do real-time operations management for solar power plant owners, including monitoring, maintenance and performance optimization,” said Steve Hanawalt, a founding partner of Power Factors. “Now that we have integrated Asset Optics’ automated maintenance management solution with our asset performance platform, we can automatically generate work orders, query contractual entitlements and generate plant-level reporting with no human intervention; all based on the ability of our system to remotely monitor multiple systems and detect anomalies.”

With the solution Hanawalt and his team developed, Power Factors’ system monitors its customers’ plants in real time, recognizes pre-set triggers and then connects with AssetOptics to generate appropriate actions and customized workflows without intervention. The Power Factors system then notifies the customer of the operational event, the resulting action item and the associated economic impact.

“Prior to forming Power Factors, Steve Hanawalt was global head of O&M at SunPower, where he was responsible for commissioning and managing more than 600 plants,” said AssetOptics Founder Mike Edwards. “Steve and his team utilized this extensive knowledge base to architect a solution to drive tangible benefits to Power Factors’ customers.”

“This application of AssetOptics’ flexible and configurable tool set is an excellent example of how AssetOptics works with its customers to build high-value solutions,” Edwards concluded.

Before Power Factors’ development of its custom offering, the monitoring and maintenance-tracking functions of these plants’ operations were usually completely siloed, with tracking and recordkeeping managed by hand or through a spreadsheet.

“If a customer has hundreds of commercial obligations in the plant, they used to need personnel to monitor and manage those operational issues and take action,” said Hanawalt. “We are making our customers’ solar plants more profitable by taking the labor costs out of the equation and using IT to make operations more efficient. I don’t think anyone else in the industry is offering what we do.”
